Empowering pediatric cancer patients to CRUSH cancer!

ABOUT AMANDA

Amanda McKean Brown, was inspired by her personal battle with childhood leukemia and has been working ever since she was a teenager to raise awareness and advocate for pediatric cancer patients and survivors. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on December 26th, 1992 just a few months after her second birthday. Amanda was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center by an incredible team of doctors, nurses, along with the remarkable support of family and friends who all came together to help her fight and ultimately win her battle. Amanda’s mission in creating the CancerCrusher Foundation is to help all of those fight their ongoing battle against pediatric cancer.

Amanda graduated from Fairfield University in May 2013 as a Communication major and a marketing and English double minor. She is currently living in New York and working at Momentum Worldwide. The New York Chapter of CancerCrusher was just recently founded and the CancerCrusher Committee has started hosting both awareness and fundraising events.
